Book Description:
Set on the windswept shores of the Chesapeake Bay, Nora Roberts's Rising Tides, the second book in the Quinn Brothers trilogy, continues the story of the lives and loves of adopted brothers Ethan, Cameron, and Philip Quinn. Eager to honor their father's dying wish that their other brother, Seth, be cared for, the three settle into life with a 10-year-old. Of all the brothers, it is Ethan who finds himself drawn to the young boy, because both suffered horrific abuse before being adopted by the Quinns. Time hasn't extinguished Ethan's pain, only buried it deep within his heart, a fact that may keep him from the only woman he has ever loved.

This is the 2nd book of the series and it was worth the wait. Nora Roberts shines with these books. I love the way she writes that lets you hear what the man is thinking, and then she'll turn it around and let you know what the female is thinking. I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

This series of books are about three boys who came from troubled homes and were taken in by the Quinns. Both the mother and the father have died and now they are responsible for a fourth boy that was taken in just before the father died. Reading about the abuse of these boys before they were taken in is really touching to see where they go with their lives. Really have enjoyed reading this series.

This was my favorite Nora Roberts book EVER! Usually by her 2nd or 3rd book in a trilogy, it is very predictable. This one was not. It had me laughing and crying in the same book. I thought it was very well written. I just loved the story! Highly recommended!!

My favorite of the Chesapeake saga. Great characters.

Reading Nora Roberts is great, romantic escapism. This series was especially fun because the lead characters are men. They are well written and an enjoyable change from her usual female leads.
